Global Equity Portfolio Institutional Class HLMVX - Portfolio Characteristics

The Portfolio invests in equity securities of companies based in the US and other developed markets, as well as emerging markets. Harding Loevner undertakes fundamental research in an effort to identify companies that are well managed, financially sound, fast growing and strongly competitive, and whose shares are under-priced relative to their intrinsic value. The Portfolio normally holds 35-75 investments across 15-25 countries. To reduce its volatility, the Portfolio is diversified across dimensions of geography, industry, currency and market capitalization.

The Portfolio invests in foreign securities, which will involve greater volatility and political, economic, and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. It also invests in emerging markets, which involve unique risks, such as exposure to economies less diverse and mature than the U.S. or other more established foreign markets. Economic and political instability may cause larger price changes in emerging markets securities than other foreign securities. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment by the Portfolio in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities.

The Harding Loevner Funds are distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC.
